Semi-final Prediction 2

Russia 3-1 Spain (2045)

[Spain foiled by their unlucky yellow kit? Nah. Had been set on going 3-0 with this one, but I'll add one
in reply due to at least one exploited defensive blunder. Reason says they should score more, possibly
even steamroll a naïve Russian side, but I think against Italy they showed their inability to adapt
tactically. Since the first game, the Russians have shown their willingness to adjust their system, albeit
around an outstanding playmaker. Their fitness is second to none, and their ability to break well has
already been demonstrated. Kolodin could be a big loss, although he had a terrible game against Spain
before. If Russia press hard, yet again, I think Spain might crumble. And this time, unlike against the
Dutch, I have to back them. Hopefully they'll have been working on their set-piece defending. Oh, and if
nobody is convinced, for every goal scored they have been promised two women. Arshavin thinks it
might just be the extra incentive they need.]
